You're offering a certain price, but you're willing to meet someone half way. How is it done?

It used to irritate me when people would take 0.25 out of my offer until I realized they were communicating. They were using this as a way of attracting attention to the deal on the table (between my price and their previous price). Not a bad idea...

FWIW, Matchbook desperately needs to include a page where people can see all their outstanding and matched offers, and make adjustments. A gaping hole in an otherwise user-friendly site.

They do, Go to reports>Current bets>Matched,Unmatched.

Way too many clicks, separate clicks for matched and unmatched, and not accessible for on-the-fly adjustments. I want one page with that info, where I can also change my offers. So one trade-ready page, not several pages with records.

Right now, if I go to unmatched offers (already three clicks) I have to go from there to every single game. The clicks add up fast. Matchbook needs to offer a much more time efficient way. How hard could it be? They already have all the info.

And such a page would make the nibbling I referred to -to meet another offer halfway- a lot more effective. Because it would immediately be seen.

This is something I suggested to them about 2 months after they opened, along with fixing the over 46 / under 46.5 thing. I can only guess they don't see it as a priority, but would encourage others to suggest the tech fix.

Often small amounts being taken comes from automated programs rather than communication. A computer doesn't know that the bet isn't worth bothering - what else was it going to do today?

If we are making suggestions for MatchBook I'd like to see the last offer accepted, for price discovery. When a price disapears I have no idea if the offer was pulled or somebody took the offer. It would make it easier to game live markets if I could see the price the last offer was accepted.
